Live for Speed: Patch V0.6E bringt umfassend verbessertes Multiplayersystem ZoomF�r die PC-Rennsimulation Live for Speed gibt es ein neues Update mit dem die Entwickler vorranging das Ziel verfolgen den Spielern ein noch zuverl�ssigeres und interaktives Onlinespielerlebnis zu bieten. Mit der Aktualisierung auf die Version 0.6E sollen Verz�gerungen und Aussetzer auf Grund stark ausgelasteter Server der Vergangenheit angeh�ren.

Von den zahlreichen Verbesserungen im Multiplayerbereich abgesehen, wurden auch noch einige andere Fehler beseitigt. Eine detaillierte Liste der �nderungen ist am Artikelende zu finden. Des Weiteren gibt es noch neue Informationen zum Entwicklungsstand. Demnach arbeitet man weiterhin an der neuen Reifenphysik und zus�tzlichen Spielinhalten. K�rzlich musste man die Weiterentwicklung jedoch v�rbergehend aussetzen, um ein Problem zu korrigieren das es Hackern erm�glicht hatte online ohne Nutzernamen zu spielen.

LFS-Besitzer k�nnen zur Aktualisierung die in das Spiel integrierte Updatefunktion nutzen oder, insofern mindestens Version 0.5Z25 installiert ist, den 3,9 MB gro�en manuellen Patch laden und diesen im LFS-Installationsordner ausf�hren. F�r Racer die eine frische Installation bevorzugen, wird hier eine 135 MB gro�e Full Version angeboten.
